Description

The 5 Day Miracle Diet is a diet based on consuming reduced calories 5 days of each week and moderate calories on 2 days of each week.

The 5 Day Miracle Diet by Adele Puhn (also the author of Midlife Miracle Diet is a low carbohydrate diet designed to help you lose weight fast. You are required to eat within 30 minutes of waking in the morning and are to stretch your eating time to forty-five minutes at each meal unless exercise is part of your weight loss plan

This type of diet can be successful for those that don’t do well on overly restrictive diets and who still want to enjoy occasional treats and going out to eat on the weekends.

Scientific principle behind the diet (how does it explain what it claims to achieve?)

The philosophy of the 5 Day Miracle Diet is to curb cravings by managing blood sugar levels. Once you're able to level-out the blood sugar in your body, you'll no longer have to worry about those energy spikes and lulls - which all too often leave you eating junky food.

The two major contributors to blood sugar spikes are the time of day that you eat and the kind of food you eat. The 5 Day Miracle Diet shows you how to reign in your cravings for unhealthy foods like starch, sugar, caffeine and alcohol. As you eliminate these things from your diet, and frequent trips to the vending machine, you'll start to see fat fade away
